SUMMARY:CRWBH - Distinguished Talk by Dr Mrinmoyi Kulkarni- Social Determinants of Health
LOCATION:VKS 003\, FLAME University
DESCRIPTION:Description:\n
India appears to be in the middle of a transition in terms o
 f disease burden from communicable to non-communicable diseases. This is a 
 consequence of the developing economy, increased life expectancy, and impro
 ved healthcare. The increasing burden of heart disease and diabetes brings 
 lifestyle factors and health behaviors into sharper focus, given their infl
 uence on the incidence and course of these chronic diseases. Health behavio
 rs are known to be influenced by both social structural variables as well a
 s individual psychological variables. Work in this area both globally and i
 n India will be reviewed. Health outcomes in terms of chronic conditions, p
 erceived health and aging will be discussed, with the goal of planning more
  effective interventions to prevent and manage health conditions.\n
